You missed the footnotes here:

75.4-87
FIXED MOBILE
5.182 5.183 5.188

5.182 Additional allocation: in Western Samoa, the band 75.4-87 MHz is also
      allocated to the broadcasting service on a primary basis.
5.183 Additional allocation: in China, Korea (Rep. of), Japan, the
      Philippines and the Dem. People¡'s Rep. of Korea, the band 76-87 MHz
      is also allocated to the broadcasting service on a primary basis.
5.184 Additional allocation: in Bulgaria and Romania, the band 76-87.5 MHz
      is also allocated to the broadcasting service on a primary basis and
      used in accordance with the decisions contained in the Final Acts of
      the Special Regional Conference (Geneva, 1960).

I know that at least in Japan they start at 76 MHz for FM radio (I used it
there).
